#sick!tae

Hours passed, They lay on the couch so long that yoongi, Jin, and Jungkook began making dinner. Jimin had fallen asleep with a hand on taehyungs stomach. Taehyung would have fallen asleep if it weren't for his stomach geting worse over time. He kept going in and out of sleep, awakened constantly by his aching middle. Jimin's body around his own made him sweat, but somehow felt chilly and would shiver when the brisk nighttime wind would enter threw the open screen door. Jimin tossed in his sleep causing his hand to awkwardly push into tae's stomach. This twisted his stomach, and a wave of nausea washed over him. He felt like he could puke, the smell of dinner entering his nostrils only made him more nauseous. He sat up. He felt the blood in his head dip, and the world around him spun, His stomach dropped. He began to rise from his seat quickly. Doing so only makes things worse. Before he could even pass the coffee table he was hit with a feeling in his stomach, before he could even react his breakfast cereal was on the floor with a loud retch. He felt weak and dizzy so he sat ( practically fell) onto the floor. Everyone within earshot heard what happen. Jimin hopped up from the couch to see him vomiting into a growing puddle on the floor. Jimin gets down off the couch and onto the floor to comfort him. He can feel the other heat radiate off as Jimin rubs his goosebumped riddled skin. "He definitely had a fever," Jimin says out to the members who have stopped cooking, preparing the table, and messing around. namjoon runs over with the kitchen's large trash can. The carpet was ruined but namjoon figured it was better for Tae to use the bin anyway. Yoongi grabbed water for him, and Jin found a towel to cover the puddle of sickness on the floor to tae wouldn't have to keep looking at it. The only hyung that didn't go physically help tae was hoseok. He wouldn't be able to stomach it so he opted for making rice for tae to eat when he was ready. All the members comforted him and make sure he was comfortable as he threw up into the trash can.

Eventually, Taehyung stomach had nothing left to bring up. Leaving the younger feeling sick but empty. Once tae could, Jimin helped guide him back to the couch. Tae was dirty and complaining about being cold and sweaty so namjoon left to go prepare a bath. Dinner was put on pause. Taehyungs health felt more important to the members at the moment. The dizziness he felt when he first got up only worsened as time went by. while yoongi was preparing some clothes for tae to wear after his bath yoongi could hear namjoon struggling across the hall in the bathroom. He decides to go see what was the matter. Yoongi knew that the leader was more used to solving big problems rather than small ones. Trying to solve smaller problems tends to stress the leader out. Yoongi walked in on namjoon checking the temperature of the water, burning himself and adding a little bit more cold water only to check it and burn it again. Yoongi giggled at the younger. Namjoon turned back when he heard yoongi. yoongi stepped in and helped. He turned on the cold water and let it run. "If it's too hot just let the cold run for a bit." yoongi waited a moment and then turned the water off. He checked the water once more. He dipped his hand in the water " perfect" he says shaking the water off his hand, then he leaves the room. Namjoon followed behind him. " Tae Everything is ready for you," yoongi says. Jimin helps the sickly other rises from the couch and slowly make his way to the bathroom. tae loses his balance from a dizzy spell.

Jimin struggles to keep the taller upright and namjoon steps in to help assist him to the bathroom. Tae enters the bathroom with his hyungs. The first thing tae notices is the sweet smell of the tug's soapy water. The strong smell agitated his head, bringing more dizziness to his head. Namjoon and Jimin gently rest tae on the top of the toilet. They don't bother asking him if he needs help, they already knew the answer plus this way also avoids tae saying no, being too prideful, and then ending up geting dizzy and falling. Namjoon begins to ( I was gonna say take off tae's socks but we all know that man doesn't wear socks lol) Pull tae's shirt over his head. Making the boy shiver. Jimin and namjoon help the boy with the rest of his clothes and help him into the tub. They leave out to give the sickly boy alittle space but they leave the bathroom door wide open and every so often a member would check up on him. Taehyung didn't move much in the tube. When he gathered the strength he washed off himself. Once he was tired of doing so he sat there laying against the side of the tub applying pressure to his stomach. Doing so felt nice. It eased a bit of the pain. He felt himself almost drift to sleep in the tub, but a tap on his shoulder woke him. Once he opened his eyes he saw hobi, three of him to be exact. he was still dizzy and now, he was seeing double. " hello tae tae. you look so peaceful here but you can't sleep in the tub. " hobi says. Hobi notices that taehyungs hair was still dry. "would you like me to wash your hair for you?" tae didn't feel like speaking, nausea still roamed his tongue. he shakes his head yes. hoseok giggles softly at how tired the boy was. With shampoo, hobi began combing threw the boy's long curly hair. With the pressure, taehyung was adding to his tummy. Everything felt nice. Hobi hyung was gentle but thorough. Tae really liked being babied by his hyung, it made him feel loved. Taehyung would have been sleeping if it weren't for his stomach choosing now as a good time to feel worse. The pressure no longer helping him. He alerted hobi that he wasn't doing so well again, hobi quickly finished up washed his hair, and conditioning faster than he would have typically. He helped the younger out of the bath, grabbed him a towel, and helped him to his room. Their Jimin and namjoon talked with yoongi as they wait for tae to finish up. Hobi helped him to his room and sat him down on tae's bed. Hobi grabbed taehyungs trash can full of discarded papers and put it close by him. " he said he's not feeling well again." is all hobi says before exiting the room. The members help him into his clothes, afterward, Jimin lays cuddled beside him on tae's bed.

The older held him in his arms once again and rubbed his stomach... Jungkook comes in with a bowl of rice that hobi prepared during the commotion. yoongi came behind him to bring in medicine for taehyung to have after he eats. Taehyung absolutely did not want to put anything on his stomach. His nausea hadn't gone away. The only way they got tae to take a bite was by Jimin feeding it to him, and even then after the third bite, he began to protest and say that he didn't want anymore. They had to get enough on tae's stomach so that he could take the medicine, it was hard but they eventually managed to get tae to have a few more bites. Yoongi administered the meds. The moment the awful-tasting pink stuff hit his tongue he began gagging, Jimin rubbed his back as he released a painful gag. yoongi brought the trash can that was on the floor up to taehyungs mouth. Taehyung could feel the rice he just ate rise up from his stomach. he slapped a hand to his mouth. " taehyung, relax you're working yourself up. take a breath and calm down." yoongi says not changing his tone even once." Taheyung tries to listen. with a hand still attached to his mouth, he calms himself and tries to take a breath through his fingers. yoongi really didn't want tae to throw up the rice he managed to get down. He knows it would be a long ordeal to have to try again. Taehyung gets a whiff of the still open medicine bottle, causing a retch to come up instead of an exhale. Taehyung went straight for the small trash can. yoongi gave his shoulder a pat and ruffled his wet hair out of his face. Jimin stay rubbing tae's tummy trying to ease the pain the best he could. Tae retched loudly but only threw up a little of the rice along with a bit of stomach acid. He pushed the can away from him. yoongi took it and put it on the floor off to the side. Feeling spittle on his face, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. yoongi was surprised tae hadn't thrown up any more than he did. yoongi decided to let him rest before trying again to stomach the meds. Tae seemed really tired anyway. He left the room turning off the lights before exiting. Jimin stay laying with him keeping an eye on him, promising to himself that he wouldn't fall asleep before taehyung did. He watched carefully as taehyungs eyes became dull and slowly crept partially closed.

Ps. Jimin wishes he could take his fingers and close them the rest of the way but he didn't want to wake the sickly boy so he left his eyes alone, despite looking kinda creepy.
